THE  GATES  OF  THE  CITY 


BROADWAY  AND  THE  NATION 


HE  New  Broadway  Mag- 
azine is  the  most  pro- 
nounced success  in  mag- 
azine making  in  recent 
years. 

In  view  of  the  multi- 
tude of  new  publications  that  have 
swarmed  over  the  news-stands  of  the 
country  in  the  past  few  years,  this 
seems  an  exceptionally  strong  state- 
ment. It  is — because  the  New  Broad- 
way Magazine  is  an  exceptionally 
strong  magazine,  and  has  admittedly 
made  the  most  striking  success  of  them 


all.  Our  proof  has  been  the  extraordi- 
nary strides  which  the  New  Broad- 
way's circulation  has  taken  month 
after  month  —  the  many  enthusiastic 
letters  from  Broadway's  readers  in 
every  corner  of  the  continent,  from 
Panama  to  Alaska. 

Only  a  few  months  ago  the  New 
Broadway  Magazine  was  one  year  old. 
Yet  in  that  short  time  it  attracted  a 
larger  number  of  new  readers,  and 
more  wide-spread  comment,  than  any 
strictly  metropolitan  magazine  ever 
did  in  a  similar  period.

BROADWAY  MAGAZINE 


ft 


The  reason  for  this  remarkable  rec- 
ord is  simple :  the  New  Broadway  set 
out  with  a  definite  purpose  to  accom- 
plish— and  accomplished  it.  When  the 
Broadway  Magazine  changed  owner- 
ship, management,  and  policy,  and  be- 
came the  New  Broadway  Magazine,  it 


ing,  and  with  its  branches  and  tendrils 
reaching  into  every  city  and  town, 
every  factory  and  farm,  every  store 
and  fireside  in  our  country.  Every 
thoroughly  live,  progressive  American 
is  in  some  way  interested  in  New 
York.  Every  neighborhood  has  sent  its 


took  as  its  firm,  fixed  purpose  the  de- 
termination to  build  upon  the  rock- 
foundation  of  New  York  City  a  high- 
class  home  magazine  of  national  ap- 
peal. 

New  York  is  the  root  and  main  stalk 
of  a  great  hard-wood  vine — ever  grow- 


quota,  however  small,  to  make  New 
York  the  greatest  city  on  earth,  or  else 
numbers  among  its  own  some  native 
of  New  York,  who  has  sought  new 
fields,  or  someone  who  has  been  to  the 
metropolis  and  has  returned  filled  with 
its  wonders.    It  is  to  these  people — -

CITY  HALL  AND  ITS  PARK 


these  livest  people  in  America — that 
the  New  Broadway  Magazine  is  mak- 
ing its  appeal. 

BROADWAY'S  PURPOSE 

From  the  very  start  the  New  Broad- 
way Magazine's  publishers  have  keen- 
ly realized  that  the  proof  of  the 
magazine  is  in  the  public.  The  public 
has  proved  by  its  tremendously  in- 
creasing demands  for  the  New  Broad- 
way that  it  wants  a  periodical  which 
can  be  informative  without  being 
didactic;  dignified  without  being  dull; 
snappy  without  being  sensational; 
beautiful  without  being  expensive ;  and 
with  every  page  in  it  of  such  interest 
that  every  reading  member  of  every 
progressive  family  will  want  to  read  it 
all  the  way  through. 

Are  you  interested  in  the  men  and 


women  who  are  making  the  Jnited 
States  great,  industrially  as  well  as  in- 
tellectually? Every  succeeding  num- 
ber of  the  Broadway  throws  a  fresh 
and  important  light  on  the  foremost 
men  and  women  of  to-day  and  to- 
morrow —  just  the  people  you  must 
know  about. 

Are  you  interested  in  politics?  From 
time  to  time  you  will  find  in  the  New 
Broadway  Magazine  the  most  incisive, 
the  clearest,  the  most  authoritative,  un- 
biased and  far-sighted  political  articles 
that  have  ever  appeared  in  any  maga- 
zine. 

Are  you  interested  in  society?  Each 
month  the  Broadway  Magazine  has 
a  fascinating  real  life  story  of  so- 
ciety written  from  the  inside  by  one 
who  is  in  and  of  society,  yet  sees  it 
with  a  clear  eye — an  article  which

THE  BOWERY 


shows  the  various  phases  of  metro- 
politan social  life  from  a  new  view- 
point, and  as  they  have  never  been  de- 
scribed before. 

Are  you  interested  in  religion?  The 
Broadway  Magazine  handles  religious 
topics  —  both  old  and  new  —  in  new 
ways;  simple,  plain,  clear,  unbiased. 

Are  you  interested  in  art?  The 
Broadway  has  made  a  distinct  record 
with  its  articles  on  art  from  month  to 
month.  These  articles  feature  the  work 
of  the  nation's  most  prominent  paint- 
ers, and  are  always  richly  illustrated 
with  reproductions  of  their  most  fa- 
mous canvases.  No  other  popular 
magazine  is  so  varied  and  comprehen- 
sive in  its  treatment  of  this  important 
subject. 

Are  you  interested  in  the  drama? 
The  very  newest  and  newsiest  chron- 


icle of  the  stage  in  New  York  is  to 
be  found  in  the  Broadway  every 
month.  This  department  of  Broadway 
exploits  no  theories  —  fathers  no 
"  schools  "  —  merely  tells  you,  as  you 
would  like  to  be  told  if  you  were  de- 
ciding what  play  to  see,  just  what  this 
or  that  play  is,  its  story,  why  it  has 
succeeded  or  failed,  and  who  the  peo- 
ple are  who  figured  in  its  triumph  or 
defeat.  This  department  is  always 
elaborately  illustrated. 

Are  you  interested  in  people?  Per- 
tinent paragraphs  about  prominent 
people  constitute  one  of  the  New 
Broadway  Magazine's  live  features 
every  month.  Here  you  will  find  facts 
about  people  who  loom  large  in  the 
big  doings  of  the  day,  and  portraits 
of  these  notables  as  well.  This  depart- 
ment is  crisp,  newsy — invaluable.

BROADWAY  FICTION 

Are  you  interested  in  short  stories? 
The  New  Broadway  stories  are  dis- 
tinguished in  their  merit  and  appeal, 
because  they  are  as  original — as  indi- 
vidual— as  Broadway  itself.  We  have 
searched  out  just  those  writers  of  fore- 
most ability  whose  talent  and  work 
have  indicated  that  they  are  able  to 
produce  stories  of  the  typical  Broad- 
way quality;  stories  that  throb  with 
the  warmth  and  cheerfulness  of  being 
alive — stories  that  make  you  feel  bet- 
ter for  having  read  them — stories  that 
breathe  optimism  and  happiness,  and 
make  your  time  spent  in  reading  them 
not  only  pleasurably  passed,  but  profit- 
ably invested.  The  result  is  that 
Broadway  has  established  a  standard 
of  fiction  all  its  own.    When  you  read 


a  story  in  the  Broadway,  you  realize 
that  it  is  different  from  the  stories  you 
read  elsewhere — not  a  story  selected 
hap-hazard  from  a  mass  contributed 
by  chance,  or  a  story  "ordered"  for  the 
sake  of  the  writer's  name,  but  a  Broad- 
way  story.  True  enough,  some  of  the 
most  famous  living  writers  contribute 
short  stories  to  Broadway.  But  their 
names  alone  are  not  enough  to  make 
their  stories  Broadway  stories.  The 
theme,  the  feeling,  the  handling  must 
be  Broadway. 

The  amazing  range  of  New  York 
City's  story  material  is  a  never-ending 
mine  to  fiction  writers.  From  the  Bat- 
tery to  Van  Cortlandt  Park — from  the 
Bowery  to  Fifth  Avenue — from  the  in- 
trigues of  the  Chinatown  secret  socie- 
ties to  the  splendid  revels  of  the  "four 
hundred" — every  phase  of  fascination

GRANTS  TOMB,  RIVERSIDE  DRIVE  AND  A  VIEW  OF  THE  HUDSON 


Magazine  has  for  its  source  of  supply 
a  field  all  its  own — the  pulsing  life  of 
great  New  York.  You  cannot  hope 
to  be  thoroughly  well  informed — to  be 
really  metropolitan — unless  you  read 
the  Broadway.  Neither  a  periodical 
of  ancient  history  nor  a  tabloid  ency- 
clopedia, Broadway  Magazine  has 
room  for  nothing  that  is  not  alive 
with  the  rush  of  the  day.  Broad- 
way accordingly  has  no  cut-and-dried 
schedules  of  articles  for  a  year  ahead 
— every  month  sees  in  Broadway's 
pages  a  vital,  forceful  presentation  of 
metropolitan  topics  which  may  have 
attained  national  proportions  only  the 
month  before.  Therein  is  the  secret  of 
Broadway's  unique  appeal — a  timeli- 
ness possessed  by  no  other  magazine 
on  earth,  whatever  its  price — an  irre- 
sistible warmth  of  human  feeling.

With  such  a  record  in  the  past,  and 
such  definite  purpose  for  the  future — 
backed  by  the  positive  ability  to  carry 
out  this  purpose  to  the  very  end — is 
it  any  wonder  that  the  New  Broadway 
Magazine  is  going  to  surpass  even  its 
present  remarkable  standing?  We 
want  you  to  know  the  New  Broadway 
Magazine  thoroughly.  We  believe  it 
may  be  just  the  magazine  you  have 
been  waiting  for — just  the  periodical 
to  satisfy  your  craving.  If  you  are  not 
already  familiar  with  the  New  Broad- 
way Magazine,  we  shall  be  glad  to 
send  you  a  sample  copy  on  request, 
and  a  copy  as  well  to  some  friend  of 
yours  who  is  anxious  to  get  hold  of  the 
best  there  is  in  magazine  literature. 

The  buying  of  a  magazine  is  pretty 


much  of  a  habit.  Unless  you  keep  on 
the  constant  lookout  for  something 
which  especially  interests  you,  you  are 
more  than  likely  to  keep  on  buying 
that  magazine  or  that  group  of  maga- 
zines, just  because  you  started  buying 
that  magazine  or  that  group  of  maga- 
zines once  upon  a  time,  and  are  doing 
it  simply  out  of  force  of  habit. 

If  you  are  reading  any  magazine 
which  does  not  quite  fit  you — one  that 
has  anything  in  it  you  feel  constrained 
to  pass  over — just  try  the  Broadway. 
It  will  satisfy  your  magazine  craving. 

Now  on  sale  at  all  newsstands  at
